[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is pretty much no one going to RHPS now for whom it would be a burden to go to the new MS. For most people it would be closer, for some it might be halfway and for a few it might be slightly closer to Westland, but I don't see how going to the new school would be a burden. [/quote]

Totally disagree.  I live in Chevy Chase and the new MS site is really far away from my house and in a direction I would never drive otherwise.  [/quote]

Exactly, we really need to unlink NCC and CC ideally which is why there are options like #3.[/quote]

I actually think 5 is the best.  [/quote]

If you think that MCPS is going to put all of the poor kids in the cluster in the same middle school, you haven't been paying attention.[/quote]

Technically all the poor kids go to the same middle school now don't they? And why is creating a desirable highly rated and functioning middle school that will draw more upwardly mobile people to the area a bad thing? The new school will still be above avg and attract people who look to avoid Silver Spring schools and Westland might finally make a run at Pyle in terms of performance. Combined with logistically what is best for most everybody and minimal bussing it seems like a no brainier to me.[/quote]

Suggesting it is ok to have one superior school for the "upwardly mobile" and another "sub par" but  "good enough" school for everyone else or or the "others just gross when there are options on the table that are equitable.  I hope I don't know you in real life. [/quote]
